I need to test a script and want to do so on a Linux box (logged in via SSH from
another machine).

I tried creating a test script (called "test.php") like this:

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php
print "test";
?>

and tried running this from the command line like this:

../test.php

but nothing happens.

I also tried this:

../test > test.txt

and the text in test.txt is this:

X-Powered-By: PHP/4.2.2
Content-type: text/html

Why is "test" not appearing in the test.txt file?

How do I get "test" to appear on my screen, rather than having to use test.txt?

Do I have to redirect STDOUT? How do I do this?

Thanks in advance.
